ORACLE Applications Patching

When is ORACLE going to support "offline" patching. It is becoming ever increasingly difficult to schedule 24-72 hour patch sessions on ORACLE Applications in a 7x24 environment. I seems like it would not be very difficult with all the resources ORACLE Corp has available, to come up with a mechanism to allow patches to be applied to an environment and then phased in on a predetermined schedule. We cannot continue to impact the end users with downtimes/outages for a product that is supposed to be superior.

Hi,
Is this documentation enough or should i go through any other guide ???Apart from OU training material, the list of documents you have should be sufficient.
I cannot afford other books from amazon so please recommend only official documentation of oracle :)All R12 documentation can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/applications-167706.html -- Which I believe you are aware of.
Thanks,
Hussein

Thanks!Oracle Applications patches that is applied using adpatch is done from the OS (as applmgr user -- The user who owns the application tier files). So, whoever has access to this user can apply application patches. Usually, this is done by the Apps DBA.

Hi All,
Can anyone help me on this, When I install Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) and patch set 10.1.3.5.0 on Linux. I am not able to find forms and reports container.
This version doesn't support forms and reports or I have go OAS 10g R2 (10.1.2.0.2) with patch set 3 (10.1.2.3.0). What is the difference between these two releases.
Please help me.
Regards,

Hi James,
1)Yes it supports IE 8 .Please review the below link for certification details on browers :-
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/as-certification-r2-101202-095871.html#BAJGCBEA
     Note: Oracle Application Server supports only those browsers.
2)Forms only support Windows 7 32 bit only.
    Please refer to the note:1292919.1 "Certification of Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2) on Windows 7 (32-bit)"
3)Could you provide more information of JVM because when you install 10gR2 it has JDK and JRE present in it.

10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know what is the patch number for 10.1.0.5 Patch for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 1?
This is a Oracle Application Server and not Oracle Database server.
I tried searching on Metalink but not able to find it.
Thanks in advance!
Avinash.

10.1.0.5 is not a version number for an OAS. It is only a version number for RDBMS.
If you are running OAS 10.1.2.x with the Identity Managmenet/SSO (OID Server), & elected to have it install the Metadata Repository database for you, this was a RDBMS release below 10.1.0.5. The OAS patch to 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 required the RDMBS be updated to 10.1.0.5 first. This is the standard 10.1.0.5 update for your platform.
use Advanced Search on Metalink
To find the OAS 10.1.2.2 or 10.1.2.3 patch set, search for Oracle Fusion Middleware Server. Release 10.1.2.2 and 10.1.2.3. Look for the decriptions like "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10.1.2.3 PATCHSET RELEASE" OR "PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2"
To find the RDBMS 10.1.0.5 patch, search for RDBMS Server, Release 10.1.0.5. Look for the Description containing something like "10.1.0.5 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER"
The patch number is different per platform, so I can't tell you the exact #s without more info (OS)

Patching Oracle Application Server

Hi, I'm trying to patch my Oracle Application Server that's going to be running a PeopleSoft softare installation. I've been having trouble making sure I have all the patches I need. I'm running version 10.1.3.1 of the Oracle Application Server. I downloaded the patches recommended by the PeopleSoft guides and the latest security patch supported by version 10.1.3.1. If your wondering why I'm using such an old version, it's simply because its the latest version the PeopleSoft guiddes certify as supported.
So I have these patches, and I searched on metalink for Oracle Application Server, iAS version 10.1.3.1.0 and there were no other recommended patches. However, I notices the patches I already installed weren't under the list of patches for OAS, not even when I searched under classification any. That's when I realized that the patches that PeopeSoft recommends are listed under Containers for J2EE version 10.1.3.1.0, which is why it wasn't coming up in the search. Now I thought Containers for J2EE were part of the Oracle Application Server, so why don't patches for it show up when I simply search for OAS patches? Is there any was to find all the recommended patches for all software that was installed with OAS? I feel like I may be missing important patches
One wrinkle is that I used the SOA 10.1.3.1.0 CD to install OAS, but I used the option for "J2EE Server and Web Server" without installing the SOA appllications. The only reason I did this was again because this is how the PeopleSoft install guide showed installing OAS.
Thanks

Dont worry about not install the SOA products, because you dont need them, at the end the patches will upgrade only the necesary.
You may try to dowload 10.1.3.4 patch, it include the previus patches and newers.
Regards

How to install Oracle Report Services in Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1

My project is running on Oracle Application Server(OAS) 10.1.3.1, and I need to develop some Oracle Reports for my client.
But I find out there is not "Oracle Report Services" component in OAS 10.1.3.1 like OAS 10.1.2.
Is there Oracle Report Services for OAS 10.1.3.1? How to get it?

Max Yuan wrote:
You mean I need to install 2 OAS(10.1.2 for report, 10.1.3 for my project), or deploy my project to 11g? For the Reports reporting project, you'll need a version/edition that includes AS Reports Services.
In "10gr2" that means AS 10.1.2.0.2 (plus Patch set): AS Infrastructure + AS BI&Forms installation (enterprise edition) or the standalone Forms and Reports installation (EE or separate licensing). You also need the Developer Suit (Reports Builder). OFM "11gr1" suite has some version of Reports Services but I don't know the available packages and installation types.

Thanks and Regards

install Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2 on RHEL5.3
Said that OAS 10.1.2.0.2 is desupported, you have to apply patch 10.1.2.3 to be fully certified on OEL/RHEL 5.

How to use JavaMail 1.4 with Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.0.0)

Hi all,
I'd like to know if it's possible and how to use JavaMail 1.4 with Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.0.0), Windows version.
With the following code, I can see that the mail.jar used by the server is the one included in the jdk installation :
// I'm testing InternetAddress.class because I want to use commons-email-1.2.jar that requires mail.jar 1.4 (or higher) and activation.jar 1.1 (or higher)
// and I know that inside the commons-email-1.2.jar file, I need to call the InternetAddress.validate() method that throws a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.validate()V if it is used with mail.jar 1.2.
Class cls = javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.class;
java.security.ProtectionDomain pDomain = cls.getProtectionDomain();
java.security.CodeSource cSource = pDomain.getCodeSource();
java.net.URL location = cSource.getLocation();
System.out.println(location.toString());
This code returns : file:/C:/oracle/app/jdk/jre/lib/ext/mail.jar and this mail.jar file has an implementation version number: 1.2
- I've tried to include my own mail.jar (1.4.2) and activation.jar (1.1.1) files in the war file that I deploy, but it doesn't work (the server still uses the same mail.jar 1.2)
- I've tried to put the mail.jar (1.4.2) and activation.jar (1.1.1) files in the applib directory of my OC4J instance, but it doesn't work (the server still uses the same mail.jar 1.2)
- I know that a patch exists : I've read the following document: How to Make Libraries such as mail.jar and activation.jar Swappable ? [ID 552432.1]
This article talks about the Patch 6514136, but this patch only applies to : Oracle Containers for J2EE - Version: 10.1.3.3.0
Can you please help me ?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Laurent

I strongly suggest to upgrade to AS 10.1.3 to get this.
Think of future support of AS 9.0.4. You will get not critical patch updates anymore.

Upgrading oracle applications doubt

Hi,
I am upgrading oracle applications from 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.1 in linux OEL 5.
I have successfully upgraded the db from 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0.5. And also new R12.1.1 file system is laid.
Now following upgrade guide, updated pfile as per R12 requirement and started the db with 10.2.0.5. [ Page 3-3 in R121 upgrade guide].
The next step is to apply the patch AD 7461070 [point 9 in page 3-5 page of r121 upgrade guide].
This patch needs to be applied on R12 application owner. But in my database release_name is 11.5.10.2.
How can i apply this patch??
Thanks
Taher

Hi Taher,
1). First Created the R12 code tree. [Installed 11g db. Is this 11g DB HOME is of any use].This is the default ORACLE_HOME which comes with the installer -- You do not need to use it.
Database Preparation Guidelines for an E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Upgrade [ID 761570.1]
2). Upgraded the DB from to 10.2.0.5. So does it mean i can use this 10.2.0.5 with both 11i and R12 just created in step 1.Not at the same time, as you will end up having R12 accessing the database (see the doc referenced above).
3). While applying the AD PATCH 7461070 i should copy adgrants to 10g ORALCE HOME. [not to 11g].
applclone -> 11i appl. owner
applr12 -> r12 appl. ownerYes, as you are still on 10g.
I am posting the log file here. I knew that i can not apply R12 patch in 11.5.10.2 environment. What i did was i applied the patch R12_8576725 environment.
As you have asked the log file.
AutoPatch error:
adprdf(): At line 3 in file u8576725.drv:
This patch cannot be applied to your current release.
Patch's intended release is "12.0.0"
Your current release is "11.5.10.2"
Freeing includes hash table
Freeing fixes hash table
Freeing basedons hash table
Freeing entities hash tableHave you completed all the steps as per the upgrade document and run AutoConfig. I do not think this is relevant to which env file you are sourcing, as the RELEASE_NAME column value is still 11.5.10.2 and it should be 12.x.x (as you mentioned above). So, please mention the steps you have followed to upgrade this instance.
Thanks,
Hussein
